Systems and methods are providing for treating a patient with continuous low irradiance photodynamic therapy. A disclosed method includes applying a photosensitizer to the patient (12); applying a conformable skin facing light applicator to the patient (14); and providing continuous low irradiance photodynamic therapy through the light applicator(16). A disclosed system includes a light applicator having a fiber optic cloth. The light applicator is conformable so that it can be worn against a patient's skin and the fiber optic cloth has a two dimensional surface that emits light in a direction toward a patient's skin. In this aspect, the power of the light emitted from the two dimensional surface in a direction toward a patient's skin is less than or equal to about 5 mW/cm2.

L'invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés pour traiter un patient avec une thérapie photodynamique par une irradiation continue à faible dose. Un procédé selon l'invention consiste à appliquer un photosensibilisateur au patient; appliquer au patient un applicateur de lumière déformable qui est orienté vers la peau; et délivrer une thérapie photodynamique par une irradiation continue à faible dose à travers l'applicateur de lumière. Un système selon l'invention inclut un applicateur de lumière ayant un tissu en fibres optiques. L'applicateur de lumière peut être déformé de façon à être porté contre la peau d'un patient et le tissu en fibres optiques a une surface bidimensionnelle qui émet une lumière vers la peau du patient, la puissance de la lumière émise depuis la surface bidimensionnelle vers la peau du patient étant inférieure, ou égale, à environ 5 mW/cm~.
